Ulli was the fifth of six children born to Wilhelm Heinrich Kampelmann and Elsa (née Pilz) in Halle (Saale), Sachsen Anhalt, East Germany.
Ulli appeared drawn to the arts from an early age. She displayed an interest in painting, and singing as she matured. When Ulli was eleven, her mother taught her how to make jewelry. Delighted with the beauty of all forms of jewelry, she made and sold bracelets and necklaces to her friends, family and teachers; earning her first income.
